We are Amazon; we pioneer.
Since opening our virtual doors in 1995, we’ve been pushing the boundaries of possible further and further.

Our entire business works hard to delight our customers – from the second an order is placed online to the seamless coordination of that order behind the scenes, we strive to stay agile, fluid and intentional. That is described in one of our core Leadership Principles, which is Bias for Action. This means that our teams band together, roll up their sleeves, and are not content with just standing still. Our aim is to become the most customer centric company on Earth.

To help us maintain our high standards of service we are seeking an experienced and accomplished Operations Supervisor, to drive both innovation and execution in our busy Transportation network.
